Etymology
Τοστ is a direct loan from English "toast." English took the word from Old French "toster," which goes back to Latin "tostus," the past participle of "torrere," meaning to parch or roast. Greek borrowed the word in the 20th century along with the sandwich itself, and treats it as an indeclinable noun.
